I have messaged stunna countless times since months now to IP ban me from he's website as I have a some how sort of addiction to the game. Whenever I get bitcoins, I usually lose them to he's site and all he does is ignore the request.

I feel that this is extremely imature and that a gambling website should not treat their customers like this, he talks all about playing fair and everything but when a customer can't control he's self and its behind the scenes from the public. He doesn't give a shit basically if you lose, just ip ban me already jezus.

If you use Linux or a Mac, run this command:

Code:
sudo bash -c "echo \"127.0.0.1     primedice.com\" >> /etc/hosts"

Stunna hates what you do that shit, and will instant ban you.


In Windows, the file is at c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.txt open it as an admin and append the line:

Code:
127.0.0.1     primedice.com

and Stunna's wrath will be instant and permanent

Honestly, we don't keep persistent track of IP's nor do we have an easy mechanism to ban IP's. Please take steps to ban yourself from the website. I can lock your account if you wish.
is this guy asking to be banned?

I'm pretty sure this is a textbook example of irresponsible advertising. Cheesy


Nope, we definitely had that ad made unfortunately. Obviously this is in extreme poor taste, and will be swapped out ASAP. I take full responsibility for that super unethical ad given my lack of involvement in marketing lately. I will be more involved in what limited marketing we do from now on and something like this won't happen again. Sorry guys
There really is nothing wrong with it, trading and gambling is the same thing


And this was the only ad i didn't block Sad .
hey micro, remember a while back when i was trying to rent my signature to you to say that you are the best mod in the world but u said my sig space was too small?how about you making an offer now, im a  jr.member

Its still to small Smiley . When u get to Full member we can negotiate Cheesy .
another month or so i guess

I'm pondering the removal of the faucet more seriously now, the cost of it has significantly decreased but the incredible amount of support emails that center around the faucet itself or amounts under 0.0005 from faucet bettors along with a much larger userbase has decreased the quality of the support we can offer severely. Many argue that it must be removed as it lowers the quality of the chat and community as well.

What are the thoughts of everyone and if faucet is removed what should levels be used for?

Thanks
its simple stunna, if u wager 2 or 3 bitcoins, u can use the faucet and also im this is your first week on primedice

bringing back whitelist would solve this problem

Whitelist accounts were auctioned off publicly, half the whitelist were botters.
you can just delist them if it happens again

hee-ho.

I'm sure the people who actually claim the faucet would prefer something different to take its place as well provided the reward was still equal. Still looking for suggestions on that.

I still think the faucet is necessary, but throwing some suggestion around won't hurt... here's some of my suggestions with their cons (in my opinion, anyway), they are ridiculous as usual.

1. the only thing that I can think as an "equal" to faucet is rakeback. but it'll lost the one important feature that faucet has, helping newcomers get used to the site.

2. a level-based tip rains is also equal. but there's a big problem with that (alts, acc selling, and maybe some more)

3. you can also reward users for getting achievements and leveling up, that will reduce the account selling problem; but it'll make the chat spammy unless you remove the chat achievements.

there you go, now I can sleep in peace

Don't sacrifice the players enjoyment over "I can't read all these damn emails!!!".

Is adding more support an option? One who only deals with faucet/chat/stupid problems. I will volunteer.

I'm not looking for either extra help or sympathy. It's annoying but not a massive deal to get 50+ emails a day simply from people complaining about having lost free money. If this is the type of community the faucet will encourage that is my principle concern though. The cost is no longer a major issue either as it was prior.

You could just hire a regular CSR to deal with emails @ minimum wage. Assuming they aren't completely overwhelmed by 200 emails a day, they probably have time to continue on as the sole CSR as PD continues to grow, even if you are fostering a non-paying community (who may have value just in talking about PD every now and then, or being more receptive to ways they can advertise it now that they've vetted it).

honestly im not much of a gambler in fact I only have .0105 btc to my name. This faucet needs to stay for amusement and to help people that don't have much extra income to spend on bitcoin.

-different color chat usernames you unlock depending on your lvl
-house edge lowers the higher lvl you are
-get a certain % back of your losses if your negative and have the % you get back depends on your lvl
-0 confirm deposits for higher lvl members
-you could limit chat to like 1 msg per 10 seconds and remove  a second from that limit every lvl you go up
 -no cashout fee once you hit a certain level

Is that not supports job though? I understand that yeah it's annoying as hell to read basically the same email from multiple members complaining about losing their free money, but you're going to deal with that no matter what decision you make honestly. If you remove it the emails will switch from "my faucet was lowered, why?? D:" to "I now hate your site for not having a faucet, you are dumb for removing it. Me and everyone I know will now move to this other site because they still offer faucet." You are running a multi million dollar "company" there will always be someone who is unhappy with something you are doing, its inevitable.

Another thing that could help out with faucet, is to allow users to contribute to faucet funds. Allow us to tip "faucet" when we are up, it would lower your costs on faucet.

decreasing the minimum tip to 10k will increase the site's expenses...

I think faucet should remain to prevent disappointment & unhappiness of the Majority . As from my POV . more & more so call " freeloaders & beggars " including spam chat "bot" are increasing in the chat community even tho without faucet , due to generous & huge amount of tippings "rains" going on either by other users & your "Mod" .
My suggestions :
1) tips at min 10k (as b4) , due to current tips 50k above most "beggars" gets the tip & withdraw .
2) min 1 deposit from user
3) min withdrawal set 0.005 ~ 0.01
4) tips from users ( voluntary ) to funding foundation *** set a user name for it

Whitelist accounts were auctioned off publicly, half the whitelist were botters.

What about making it not be a permanent whitelist?  If mods see accounts sold (and you think that is an abuse) or you think they are botters take them off the whitelist?  I'm actually amazed more accounts are not sold, but that is a different issue.

We keep coming back to the problem that it is not the faucet per se but the abuse of it.  Sure a whitelist may be subjective, so what, there is no substitute for human judgement.  Use that to stop abuse, especially since abuse is so hard to define in advance.

I think you've taken a lot of intermediate steps that have improved things and I'm all for a "less spammy and gameable" system, maybe you'll get a better discussion on here if you layout some specific ideas?  Set up a cool poll or something.  I think this is a hard thing though, if any system like that was obvious you or some other dice operator would have tried it already.

Thanks again for discussing it and for PrimeDice!

ok then what about "support tickets" like you open a support ticket on the site and provide your email to them to respond to.  and just have it set up  with a required subject field with a dropbox of options like  "missing deposit" "faucet" "missing cashout"  "other" so that way support could filter out all the emails about faucet

Yeah seriously, isn't it their job in the first place to deal with all the emails anyway? I would assume they get paid? Mods deal with the exact same thing as support only without pay, and I don't see any of them complaining.

hee-ho.

There probably are plenty of best case scenarios but the faucet is what causes the majority of spam on the website and account level farming/sales. How about an alternative that still rewards leveling up but in a less spammy and more difficult to game way?

ok this might sound a bit ridiculous, but bear with me.

how about implementing a new feature called faucet points or something like that, 1 point for 1 faucet.
we get 1 point for every 50k (or something) that we gambled starting from 1btc (or something).

there you go

o ya forgot about that

And as i said it was to subjective . We could give it to anybody who doesn't deserve it , or not give to somebody that deserves it but  we don't like him. It wasn't good system.

As I was saying, removing faucet completely is a bad move, totally going to lose like half of the players you currently have to sites that still offer faucets.

Simple solution: Active members faucets remain the same, new comers have 1-2 claims per day so they are allowed to "test" the site, tell support to deal with the emails because that's their job, that's what they get paid to do. Not like they are urgently replying to emails anyway.

Just my 2 cents.
